Description

The Word For Thesis shortcourse will give you the practical skills you need to work with a template, format your thesis and create a submittable and print-ready document. A series of exercises will guide you through ways of using MS Word features to effectively organise and develop a complex document.

There are two sessions in Word For Thesis: setting up your template and practical skills. The template session (2 hours) is intended as a bridging course for those who are just starting out using Word for their thesis, and is ideal for those who are not confident using Word. More confident users of word can attend the practical skills session (3 hours) only.

What do I need to bring?The class is taught using PC computers in a lab. The skills learnt can be transferred to Word for Mac OS. Students do not need to bring their own computer. Although not a personal tutorial, students can bring their own material on a USB drive or laptop to edit during the class to identify problems and issues in their documents.

Learning outcomesOn completion of the shortcourse participants should be able to:

Enable double sided, print-ready PDF documents

Use the Style system to control paragraph formats consistently, and use the Table of Contents construction.

Use Captions for tables and figures and creating the list in the table of contents.
